You’re not helping! 
I’ve read the explanation of that many times, and can barely see the meaning when fully expanded long form.
I had hoped that your clever substitution would clarify matters and maybe I could remember the joke as anything other than just 8 consecutive syntactic “buffaloes” devoid of semantic content. But even with your capitalization and the bison vs buffalo distinction laid out in plain sight, it’s still gibberish to my feeble parser.
Buffalo bison Buffalo bison bully bully Buffalo bison.
The bison substition is every time it’s used as a noun.
The capitalization (for the city) is every time it’s used as an adjective.
Lower case buffalo is a verb - or as substituted with “bully” by @fachverwirrt.
The paraphrase would be:
Bison from Buffalo that [other] bison from Buffalo bully [in turn] bully [yet other] bison from Buffalo.
Buzzard:
I believe the word buzzard is used to refer to (at least) two completely different species.
Oh, I fully get the decode when written out that way; I just can’t intuit the changes in POV even with all the signposts added. So although I can go from long form decode to the raw text I can’t go the other way. It’s an odd linguistic blind spot.
But thanks for the attempt at enlightenment. Somebody will benefit from it.
It’s only a regional nickname in a couple of places for the turkey vulture, it’s not officially called a “buzzard” in any sense. It’s a vulture. I think that was the point.
The other species is actually a buzzard.
Except the colloquial name is so strongly associated that Buteo species in America are actually called hawks, or in wildlife reporting just called “buteo” to remove any ambiguity, and the turkey vulture is the first thing I think of when somebody mentions “buzzards”.
I mean, this is why we have Linnaean names. Everything else is subject to regional variation. That bird isn’t officially called a “buzzard”, because its only official name is Cathartes aura.
There are “official” English names too, in the U.S. governed by the American Ornithological Society. You may recall the recent decision to change the names of all birds named after people - this refers to the English names, not the binomial.

It’s the avocado toast all over again!
I maintain that at some level, food is an investment.
Speaking of avocado toast:
Granger was born on 29 August 1969 in Mentone, Victoria,[17] to a vegetarian mother and a father who worked as a butcher.[18][19] He was married and had three daughters with his wife Natalie Elliot.[20]
On 26 December 2023, Granger’s family announced that he had died on Christmas Day at a London hospital, at age 54.[21] He died from cancer after having been diagnosed many months previously.[22][23]
I had no idea! Does this mean we should be avoiding avocado toast?
(Happy SDMB anniversary!)
What do you know? It is my board anniversary!
I hope not, it’s fucking delicious.
Do you want to be a millionaire or not?
I know. Spending a buck on an avocado a couple of times a month can really add up!
